Alvaro Morata’s career is the story of a shattered dream but the striker will be ready to hit the ground running at Chelsea, according to talkSPORT Spanish editor Alvaro Romeo.

After missing out on first choice transfer target Romelu Lukaku, the Blues are due to sign the Real Madrid forward to be their first choice goal-getter next season after agreeing terms on Wednesday.

Morata has had to play second fiddle behind Karim Benzema at the Bernabeu and was re-signed by the club last summer after two years away playing for Juventus.
